Togwotee Pass

The danger is Low today as avalanches are unlikely. Low danger does not mean ‘no’ danger. Isolated pockets of shallow wind slab exist on very steep terrain in the upper elevations. These slabs will be of greater concern in terrain where taking a fall has high consequences. Remember to always utilize safe travel practices by only exposing one person at a time, using good communication and being prepared for rescue.

( Discussion is generated from the previous day's afternoon forecast. )High pressure will continue to dictate the weather. Winds will back from the northwest to the west overnight and be in the 15-20 mph range during the day. Skies will be mostly sunny. Valley inversions will set up overnight with low elevations dipping into the single digits. Those inversions will break down during the day with temperatures rising into the low twenties in the valleys. Ridgetops will be in the teens overnight with daytime highs reaching the mid twenties. Aside from isolated pockets of wind slab in very steep terrain, avalanches will be unlikely tomorrow. Despite this it remains important to follow good travel habits by traveling one at a time in steep terrain, using clear communication and being equipped for rescue. This will allow for a buffer if pockets of unstable snow are encountered.
